Mochi has fully healed and there’s just a scar with a small indent left!! 😁
In case this thread pops up under spay searches, my kitty Mia got her spay done yesterday and I have a picture of what a healthy incision looks like!
Yay!! My first longhair!! And he is indeed very handsome!! 😁😁
Do longhairs require more brushing than shorthairs? I’m assuming so but he attacks the current brush I have haha
Hi all! I’m wondering whether my boy Andrew here would be considered longhair or shorthair. He’s currently 19 weeks old. His siblings were all really short haired compared to him, especially his sister Mia, who has very sleek and shiny fur.
I’m more curious than anything, since all my other...
Another small update - I took her cone off for a little so she could eat easier, and I looked away for a second and she’s ripped her scabs off! Luckily it was at the point where the skin underneath is fused together, so she didn’t open her incision. I think it was just really itchy, so she...
Small update - her incision is actually starting to scar at the edges that were a little together from the beginning, which I’m surprised about because it usually takes a week. I started letting her out of the kennel so she can walk around a bit, and she automatically goes back in her kennel...
She is unfortunately a cord chewer 😞 she got ahold of my phone charger a while ago and I had to buy a new one because it was obliterated, haha
I have a heating pad that you’re supposed to microwave, would those work? Atm she has a small litterbox, food and water, and a towel with some room to...

Alright, I bought some kitten dry for her and I’ll keep feeding her the kitten pates mixed with it. I weighed her this morning and she weighs 3.7lbs now!! She’s slowly gaining but surely 😊
Got a call from the vet and they confirmed my suspicions of an infection, and gave her an antibiotic shot. Luckily that’s all she needed and the incision will close on it’s own, but I’ll have to put her in cage rest with her cone on since she was running around in her quarantine room. She won’t...
Update - we are on the way to the clinic to get her checked out. I texted their after hours number and sent them the picture and they wanted to see her in today. I looked at her incision this morning and yeah it looks worse - very red and angry 😞

I’m using a dry food labeled All Stages, should I get a separate kitten food for the little ones?
The wet food (flakes) is also labeled all stages but I also have kitten pate of the same brand that I have been giving her.

Unfortunately I don’t have a pic of her incision from the first day, but I’ll take update pictures and try to take her in tomorrow, or the day after, depending on if they’re able to see her sooner because of work schedule.
I also noticed there isn’t any heat emanating from her...
Hi all, I need a little help getting my kitten, Mia, to gain weight so she can weigh enough to get spayed on the 11th.
She was born on April 26th, which makes her 17 weeks old. The clinic requires them to be four months old and weigh 4lbs, but Mia only weighs 3.5lbs. She isn’t really skinny...
